The Ambient Breathing Valve

Due to the unavailability of The Gill, OTS has created their own version of this valve, known as the ABV-1. This ABV can be retrofitted into existing AGA’s or ordered with new mask purchases. The ABV-1 is a must for all Search & Rescue Teams, Military Divers and Divers who spend time on the surface before a dive and want to conserve breathing gas. Details are below, Call Buckeye today for pricing and delivery times.

The ABV-1 Ambient Breathing Valve allows the user to breathe ambient air at the surface conserving your tank air. It is simple to use and its low profile keeps it out of the way. To use the device, while on the surface simply rotate the valve counterclockwise. The one way valve will open and allow air into the FFM.

The one way valve located on the inside of the FFM ensures that your exhaled air does not go back out the valve. Your exhaled air is sent out through the second stage regulator ensuring you do not get a Co2 “build-up” in the FFM. The valve also is forced closed when diving. The over pressure in the FFM assures that. If you forget to close the valve before diving, the valve disc will help keep water out. When the valve is closed, it has a low profile.

Even when the valve is fully open, the profile only slightly changes. When the valve is open the diver breathes normally. He/she will notice little effort in breathing while he conserves his tank air.
